There might not be any problem in the flight but it would definitely be safer to avoid any flights for the next two weeks. If he decides to take the flight then he should walk within the flight to avoid Deep Vein thrombosis and take all medications with him. Try and convince him to avoid the travel for a few weeks. Take care.
